RUGGED MEMORY: A TRIBUTE TO BIAFRA’S FALLEN HEROES AND HEROINES

Great Comrades, we will forever adore you and your efforts. You all fought bravely, and your throes gave us the privilege to be the remnant in Biafra - the land of the Rising Sun, which the creator of the heaven and the earth gave you and your generation as a possession. Though the perilous affections of the enemies’ gruesomeness has taken you away, but we’re here to complete your mission and to attain the freedom which you had begun the quest for.

Your bravery and commitment shall never be in vain. Today, we acknowledge all your strives and ultimate sacrifices, we acknowledge that you have laid down your lives for our survival, we acknowledge your efforts to sustain your grand children, our future generation and we acknowledge your downfall for the purpose of our own upliftment. With utmost regards, we honour you, we salute your bravery, all you esteemed soldiers, children and pregnant women who fought with starvation and who died for Biafra’s freedom.

We feel the same pain that you had felt while trying to ensure that your rights and heritage, your children’s rights and heritage are secured. The hunger, humiliations, incarcerations and slaughter which were unleashed on your defenseless beings will not only stimulate remembrance for you all on every 30th of May but through the same oath and ideology that we share, we must accomplish what was left for us by you.

Tears roll down our cheeks, they flow like a river, when we remember your death, when we remember your sacrifice and the battle you have fought for our freedom. We recognize that you have handed down the baton to us and we must never let your death be in vain. Your departure was not your fault nor any act of God but rather, man's inhumanity against man. You fought for the freedom and for an end to our slavery, you fought for what you believed in and you died for your people which proves that your love for us is exceedingly high.

We miss you all our esteemed and faithful comrades, we will continue from where you stopped and neither incarceration nor the fear of the ultimate price will deter us from achieving our goal which is freedom of Biafra and this we assure you all. Goodbye comrades, as we throng on to get the Biafra you died for. We remember you all. All hail Biafra
